As part of Game Informer’s big October issue Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout blowout, Treyarch Design Director David Vonderhaar sat down and answered a series of rapid fire questions — 195 questions to be exact!

You can watch the video or if you’d rather digest it by reading, Reddit user nmwood98 laid it out in an easy-to-read bulletpoint form! Black Ops 4 cross platform play has been shut down! Not only that, but don’t expect Call of Duty: WWII’s Headquarters mode to return as well.

Player count of 80, testing up to 115 (Vahn says “with any luck”)

3arc Testing Blackout Split screen

Blackout is NOT a simulation

Blackout possibly takes place in Nor. Cal

Not ruling out characters outside of 3arc games for Blackout, but will contain characters from past 3arc games

LTM events to use/unlock certain content (characters?)

Multiple types of Armor

No clothing/cosmetic loot

No variant rarity (Vahn says it’s too confusing for the rest of the game)

Mission for characters and mission progression unlocks new content

Items can be traded between players (at least within squads)

Items can be taken when looting a dead player, allowing the loot-holder to continue the quest/s

Zombies spawn at at least four locations “look for the ray of light”

Circle can close in on pack of zombies

Blackout indirectly affects other game modes

Helicopters spawn at Helipad or similar locations (Not always marked with a H, i.e. can be a dirt patch)

Cap of 10-20 of loot items onto vehicles

Players can carry two primary weapons

Some type of victory quote when Blackout is won

No other AI enemies, possibly in the future

No third person, 3arc make “first person shooters and put them on the internet”

James Harden may have inadverently disclosed BO4 was upcoming title when wore a hat with the logo in May 2018

Game tuning, item tuning, progression rates etc being worked on

No information on Blackout will be available as a standalone title

Final circle is largely random on map but can sometimes be “directed”, not too much on water, usually on construction sites for examples

Vahn says Camping playstyles will not win games

Players can find Ruin’s grappling hook on the map and use this

New characters confirmed, your own icon

Fall damage confirmed

Vehicle horns can be honked

No different weather, can see in good weather conditions but may change as Blackout progresses
